IMPROVEMENT I N TOY WHlRLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,564, dated June 24, 1879; application filed V November 29, 1878. I

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AUGUST KIEsELE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toy Whirl, of which the following is a specification.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved toy whirl; Fig. 2, a vertical section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

This invention relates to an improved toy whirl composed of two parts, of which one part may be removed and another substituted therefor.

The invention consists in the combination of the two parts that constitute the whirl with a rod which is partly embedded in thelower part and extends through the upper part, and with a string which is attached to said rod and extends through an opening in the upper part, all being so arranged that the upper part of the whirl may be removed and another substituted therefor, as will be hereinafter more fully pointed out.

In the drawings, the letterArepresents the lower part, and B the upper part, of my improved toy whirl. Said parts are made preferably in imitation of the body of a man or animal, the upper part, B, being the head. Inthe lower part, A, is embedded the end of a rod, 0. This rod projects into and through the hollow swiveled head B, and is provided with a shoulder near its upper end, upon which the upper part of the head B rests. The head B is confined on the rod 0 by a washer, a, which is passed over the upper end of the rod, and by a pin, 12, which passes through ahole in the rod, as clearly shown in A, and causing it to rotate in opposite directions.

It will be seen that by making the head B removable I can replace said head when worn; or 1 may use heads of difierent kinds or other figures 011 the same lower part, A, thereby producing an unlimited number of variations in the toy whirl.

The parts A and B may be made of suitable material and of suitable size and shape.

I do not claim to have invented the toy which is described in Patent No. 176,973, granted to O. A. Lines, May 2, 1846; but

1 do claim The combination, in a toy whirl composed of a body, A, with rod 0 rigidly attached thereto, head B, having opening a, and cord D, passed through said opening and attached to said cord 0, of the fastening devices a b, adapted to allow of the removal and interchangeability of the head B, substantially as described and shown.

AUGUST KIESELE.
